Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the quality of life of caregiver’s. The study was conducted at the RABAT National Institute of Oncology in MOROCCO. RESULTS: 120 patients on the palliative phase of advanced cancer were included. Severe fatigue was observed in 64.2% of patients with an average of 90.55 ± 14.7. There was a positive association between functional dimensions and overall quality of life and a negative association between symptoms and overall quality of life. Patients under 30 years had a lower quality of life. According to the multi-varied analysis, physical function, emotional functioning and fatigue were significant predictors of Health related quality of life/overall quality of life (p < 0.05).
